Saturday, August 2 is the big day and this year it’s the biggest number yet of CMCSS students who have taken and passed an Advanced Placement exam. A total of 458 students passing 681 exams have qualified to participate in Wyatt Johnson’s Pass and Go car giveaway on Saturday.

This is the sixth year for the reward celebration and the numbers of students taking and passing the exam has grown significantly from last year with 376 students passing 524 exams. The previous year had 359 passing 504 exams.

Katherine Johnson Cannata, Dealer Principal for Wyatt Johnson Automotive Group, is offering one lucky student his or her choice of one of three 2014 cars: a Toyota Yaris, a Mazda 2 or a Hyundai Accent. An exciting process for winning the car involves students first trying their keys in the car door. Ten keys will open the door. The 10 finalists will then draw for a key which starts the car.

Schools director B.J. Worthington said he is excited and encouraged by the number of students taking such rigorous coursework and he commended Advanced Placement teachers for being effective at their craft.

Premier Medical also has partnered with CMCSS and Wyatt Johnson in the Pass & Go event. They are giving away a thumb drive for every student and will be drawing for 14 Surface tablets. Premier Medical will also be giving away other door prizes and William Beach Oil will be drawing for $25 gas cards. Domino’s Pizza will be providing food for the students attending and will give away door prizes as well. Prizes will be offered through a random drawing.

Registration for the Wyatt Johnson Pass & Go event will begin at 4 p.m. and end at 5 p.m. The event is located at 2425 Wilma Rudolph Blvd.
